Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.57681
Category:FreeBSD Local Security Checks
Title:FreeBSD Security Advisory (FreeBSD-SA-06:25.kmem.asc)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update to the system; as announced in the referenced advisory FreeBSD-SA-06:25.kmem.asc
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update to the system
as announced in the referenced advisory FreeBSD-SA-06:25.kmem.asc

Vulnerability Insight:
The firewire(4) driver provides support for IEEE 1394 (FireWire)
interfaces. This driver provides some of its functionality via the
ioctl(2) system call.

In the FW_GCROM ioctl, a signed integer comparison is used instead of
an unsigned integer comparison when computing the length of a buffer
to be copied from the kernel into the calling application.

Solution:
Upgrade your system to the appropriate stable release
or security branch dated after the correction date.

CVSS Score:
2.1
